The watershed milestone products in the computer industry are few. You may argue with this list, but I think it's pretty reasonable.*
1975 - MITS Altair “ the first ‘personal computer’
1977 - Apple II “ the first modern personal computer
1981 - IBM PC “ the first PC from the MS/Intel/IBM powerhouse, and the basis of the computers most of us use today
1984 - Mac 128 “ the first Macintosh and first commercial product with a real GUI
2010 “ iPad
Three of those 5 were ushered in by Steve Jobs. Our industry owes a lot to his leadership. Don't get me wrong—he's no saint. He's a megalomaniac, a near Machiavellian presence in the industry who's been ruthless and unapologetic about stealing great ideas and spinning/misrepresenting/lying to customers for decades but the computer industry would be a very different place without him. Thank you for your contributions to computing Mr. Jobs.
* I love my Commodore as much as the next guy, but it does not belong on this list. The Altair wasn't really a computer, it was a kit—more analogous to a HAM radio than a modern PC. I thought about including the Palm Pilot on this list. Also, you could conceivably include Windows 3.1, Windows 95, and Windows XP on this list, but I kept it to hardware.
